Title: Upgrade for $23.98 -- ends December 12
Post by: JimH on October 19, 2011, 07:21:03 pm
You can upgrade now at a special price.  If you have any version prior to MC16, you can upgrade at a reduced price -- $23.98 -- through December 12.

Instructions are on our Wiki (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Upgrade_to_MC17)

In either case, you will receive an MC17 license that works with MC16 or MC17.  

A release is posted in a thread near the top of the Media Center 17 board (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=23.0).  Features are also there.  

We're currently at build 38 on the MC17 Beta board (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=23.0).

Anyone who purchased a license for MC16 or MC17 since October 1 has received an MC17 license.   You can download and install either MC16 or MC17.

Jim,

If I am running v16 and want to get into 17 for $18.98 - can I? If so - what do I do or where do I go to get the upgrade link?

Or will there be another different offer for current users?

Cheers,

VP

On Feb 16, 2011 I received an email from buy-button@jriver.com
reading: Thank you for your purchase of Media Center 16 from JRiver, Inc. for $16.98.
Your Registration Code is xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx.  (blank for confidentiality)
This is your permanent proof of purchase. Print this e-mail now and keep it in a safe place.
...etc.

My purchase of Media Center 16 was eight months ago - less than one year.
Am I eligible for a free upgrade to MC17 or some form of discount because I made my purchase in Feb 2011?

Thanks,
Supersnake

I'm also on MC16, is this NOT for MC16 users?? If it is, how do we buy, don't we need a MC17 app? ?

When the fist V17 build is posted you will be able to buy the upgrade through the app.

Yeah but...

"If you have any version prior to MC16, you can upgrade now and receive an MC17 license that will work with MC16 or MC17."

Also - it is very important to note that some folks (like me) won't be touching v17 at all in the early going...I will only commit to an install when it has some definite stability. I hope this doesn't knock me out of the running for a decent upgrade offer.

It's not yet possible.  It will be, when the first MC17 build is posted.  We expect that soon.  The price will remain the same until then.

Thanks for your interest in upgrading.

No.  Sorry.  We have to cut it off somewhere.  The cutoff was October 1, 2011.  For a week or so after MC17 Beta is released, we'll sell it at a discount.

I can't wait, new versions are always so exciting.


Where do we watch for it? Will MC17 first show up on the MC16 board, or on it's own board?

I hope the initial releases can be installed side-by-side with MC16. First versions are sometimes a bit rough, but I'd love to be able to play around and do some testing asap :)

Thanks Jim, I have no problem paying my annual MC tax, it is one fantastic app I could not do without!

I have bought version 16 recently and you released another version and asking for upgrade, I feel it is unjust.

You bought on Oct 4.  You have an MC17 license.  You can just install MC17.

Did the price go up already?
I see people were asking about $18.98 dollar price.  Now it shows for $23.98.  Did it go up?
After December 10th, will it be full retail price ($40 or $60 something?)
